Produktbeschreibung

Roots & Wings portrays the decade-long journey of a young Greek woman who perseveres despite having PTSD. With humor, humility, and hope, Demetra captures the underworld of trauma and the resilience of the human spirit.

"On this journey with Demetra, we understand that posttraumatic stress disorder is not reserved for veterans of war, but for veterans of life, and that healing comes slowly…Roots & Wings will inspire anyone, but especially someone who has suffered a loss, or who loves someone who has suffered a loss." -Mary Jane Nealon, RN & MFA Author of Beautiful Unbroken: One Nurse's Life

"A very moving story that illustrates…how a physical illness caused by a drug reaction can lead to very real mental health problems…This is a must read for parents, educators, and anyone in the health care profession." -Marianne Stipe, MEd & EdS Multicultural Educator
